  • Hitler went to jail. He used that time to write a book outlining his plan.

    I don’t think even Trump thought he was going to win this time. Nearly half the voting population didn’t want him to. A huge swath of people sat out this election, we’re here because of them. Yea, some of that is on Biden, some rests on Harris, some rests on the DNC, but the people who saw the choice and decided to sit it out also deserve a lot of the blame.

    But that doesn’t matter now. The damned thing happened. We got here. Life doesn’t always happen the way we want. It’s now up to all of us who care about our future, the future for our kids and the future of our country to step up. This is our historical moment.

    This is the one that history books will write about. We need to stand up and rise up to the moment. We have to fight the tyranny. That means some of us will be imprisoned. That means some of us will die. And that sucks, like really really sucks. I’ve been on this planet for 40+ years now. If I don’t take a stand now, for the country I love, for the people I love, then why the hell am I even here? I want to live life in the way I want to live it, not how someone else dictates it.

    And I challenge you to do the same, for your life depends on it. It’s time to rise. It’s time to act. It’s time to fight.

  • Biden was bye bye 9 months ago, my dude. I’m sorry he hurt you in the feefees.

    The president is not a king, there are a lot of congress critters who also got us to this point. And those don’t get elected nationally. It’s systemic. I don’t foresee us making significant systemic changes to the system this cycle… unless they are to our detriment.

    For me, now is the time to recruit, to protest, to get active and get people active. If we want to keep our country, we need to be out in the streets saying this ain’t right. The leaders of the movement will bubble up naturally. And yeah, you’re probably right in that they’ll likely be a whole hell of a lot more passionate than a cluster of 80 year old geriatrics.

  • Why are we still talking about Biden? How does this serve us? Regardless of how we drove here, we’ve landed in S-Town.

    So now we either live with the stink, build ourselves a waste treatment facility, or GTFO.

    1. When you’re chasing your next meal, you don’t have time to complain. Western society enables us to shift our priorities to higher levels on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
    2. Feelings project differently in different cultures. For example, Spanish speaking people often align depression with physical exhaustion.
    3. You many not know the people well enough to know their most intimate thoughts and intentions. Complaining in autocratic societies could be considered dissent and get you killed.
    4. Similar to 3, they may be treating you as a D-list celebrity or a tourist because they have something to gain from doing so. Refer to point 1.
    5. Consider the audience. Who are the kind of people who have frequent access to Internet in these countries and would want to talk to Western citizens?
  • NC did the Elon has got to go chant, but I didn’t hear the other one.

    I like to think “No kings on President’s Day” is sung out like “No sleep til Brooklyn”

    We filled the entire square around the govs mansion. Easily 1000 people, probably 2k.

  • The queen’s gambit. Once per game, the queen, who had been disguised as a pawn up until then, reveals her true self. A queen and a pawn may swap places.

    This also means it’s possible to get a pawn to the opponent’s home row by turn 4, thus gaining a second queen.

  • We are mad and we’re getting madder. We just haven’t hit the fever pitch yet. There hasn’t been a catalyst.

    But eventually there will be one and we’ll be able to coalesce around it. Seems like Moscow Musk is starting to be the foil, but so could a number of other things: egg prices, bid flu, new Hoovervilles. Something will make it happen.

    Now is the time to plan and prepare.
